Stop Enter Keyring Password Dialog on Ubuntu Start-Up

Problem
The prompt can be annoying when you see the Enter Keyring Password Dialog everytime you login om your computer. It usually happens when you just changed your Ubuntu user account password and your computer tries to connect to a new wireless Internet connection.

It says:
An application wants access to the keyring 'Default', but it is locked. 
Enter password for keyring 'Default' to unlock

Solution
1. Right click your mouse at the Network Connection applet at the task bar.
2. Choose Edit Connections...
3. On the Wireless tab, click your connection and click the Edit button.
4. A dialog will appear and check the Available to all users at the lower left.
5. Click Apply... and enter your password when prompted to.

Problem solved! :)
